*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[Adorable Asshole]

Australia has enough runs on the board. They should declare now. England not even gonna make 150 here.

These fields are crazy

It’s dark and 193/8 with a guy bowling over 90 mph so let’s put 9 on the fence

 

[TimAngas]

Head thriving under pressure here.

They did it last summer

apparently it’s compulsory when the last two are in to forget the stumps etc etc and go for catches on the boundary edge

this is allowing Australia to have a decent lead now

 

[Alex0paul]

England wasting time here so they don’t have to bat

 

[Spark]

The mind boggles at some of the tactics on show to the tail in this series

 

[Alex0paul]

What time can they play until?

 

[ripper868]

Great 50 that.

 

[loterry1994]

Head not even bad at the short ball as much as people think his not great either same goes with duckett

 

[mackembhoy]

Losing the plot as per usual here.

We are so bad when needing the last few wickets so often.

 

[ripper868]

What time can they play until?

think 7 is the line in the sand, so 30 minutes

 

[Calm_profit]

Travis is 2nd best Australian batter on this tour

 

[mackembhoy]

All for a laugh mate, but using a review when your the 3rd last wicket with 3 remaining on a wafer thin edge is hardly grounds for '****ing cheat' levels. If the tech existed in 2013 then Broad would of been out as well, but sure, he can still be a cheat and a paragon of the spirit of cricket.

Quick 50 for Murph coming up now anyway

It wasn't serious

 

[ripper868]

Losing the plot as per usual here.

We are so bad when needing the last few wickets so often.

Seems to be an affliction of both teams this series.

 

[Aidan11]

Head is going to bat us out of the game.

It happens nearly every summer in England

infuriating

 

[Spark]

Head not even bad at the short ball as much as people think his not great either same goes with duckett

He doesn't start well against it but he's brutal against it when well set, which he is now. Quite bizarre the extent to which they've not challenged his outside edge today

 

[social]

this continually bowling short tactic is actually great, keep it going.

Dumb & dumber

Doesn’t work for Australia but they keep doing it and England then copies it even though it hasn’t worked

 

[Anil]

Australia needs to get the lead to at least 250 to have a chance here…

 

[Ashes81]

Heads us playing well here but I don't like our tactics with the excessive short balls. We're going at near 8 or 9 on over
